E Anaesthetic Airway Management of Parapharyngeal Mass
Dr. P. Sree Lakshmi, Dr. S. Raghavendra Prasad, Dr. C. G. Raghuram
Abstract: Primary Parapharyngeal Space (PPS) tumors are rare, representing only 0.5 % of all head and neck neoplasms. These patients present a challenge to the anesthesiologist as they block the pathway for ventilation as well as intubation. They often pose a therapeutic and diagnostic problem due to variable nonspecific symptoms and the complex anatomy of this space. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor in this space. Here, we report the case of a 28-year-old female presented with swelling over right side of the neck, hoarseness of voice, and difficulty in swallowing. The radiological and cytological evaluation was performed and the patient was diagnosed as having PPS Pleomorphic Adenoma. The tumor was excised via the transcervical approach.
